The Requirements And Challenges Of Semiconductor Product Development

Photo by Brian Kostiuk on Unsplash THE REQUIREMENTS OF NEW SEMICONDUCTOR PRODUCT DEVELOPMENT The semiconductor industry is driving on top of the products that different companies introduce. These semiconductor products have to go through complex product development procedures to fulfill strict technical and business requirements. That makes the planning and strategy aspect of development vital. Technology (devices and package side) progress in the semiconductor industry has powered designers and manufacturers with resources to develop highly complex semiconductor products. These technological advancements have enabled much smaller and portable semiconductor-powered products than ever before. More options and features on semiconductor design and manufacturing are a bonus for both companies and their customers. However, the wide range of the device to transistor-level characteristics also means that the requirements to drive new semiconductor product […]

The Automated World Of Semiconductor Manufacturing

Photo by L N on Unsplash THE REASONS FOR SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING AUTOMATION Automation is part of all advanced manufacturing industries. As the computing world has progressed, the high-tech software-hardware interaction now allows manufacturers all over the world to make the most of automation techniques to accurately run their production line. Semiconductor manufacturing is one such industry, which has taken advantage of automation for a long time and during this course has deployed several automated techniques to minimize errors. Given the time, cost, and resources required to manufacture semiconductor products, it is inevitable that automation is required to develop semiconductors. There are several ways in which automation is deployed to manufacture error-free semiconductor products. This ranges from utilizing software to keep track of different production activities to highly advance equipment that

The Blocks Of Semiconductor Supply Chain

Photo by Barrett Ward on Unsplash THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF SEMICONDUCTOR SUPPLY CHAIN Supply Chain Management (SCM) is part of every manufacturing industry. It enables the movement and management of finished goods and all those components that drive the development of the final product. As the world became more connected, real-time information allowed SCM to be more efficient than ever. However, the years 2020 and 2021 have brought massive challenges to the SCM. Irrespective of the manufacturing industry, SCM teams across different companies have to fight against the unpredictable trend of the market, and companies (and SCM teams) are now struggling to find avenues to tackle the fluctuating supply and demand in the market. The same challenges and stories also apply to the semiconductor industry. The long manufacturing cycle time

The Semiconductor Manufacturing Cluster

Photo by Louis Reed on Unsplash THE REASONS TO DEVELOP SEMICONDUCTOR MANUFACTURING CLUSTER Developing a dedicated semiconductor manufacturing infrastructure from scratch is a billion-dollar risk and the cost of doing so is also increasing year on year. As the semiconductor industry marches towards a new era of capacity creation, it is important to invest in strategies that can enable a high return on investment. Today, the majority of the big semiconductor manufacturing companies are looking for new regions to create their next-gen semiconductor device fabrication, assembly, and testing infrastructure. The cost of making the wrong choice for such a large investment is very high. The time, and effort required to build semiconductor manufacturing infrastructure are pushing companies, and also governments, towards utilizing (or creating) regions that already have a semiconductor
